1 pound ground beef
1 (15.5 ounce) jar prepared salsa con queso
20 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Categories     Tacos & Burritos

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (they'll stay more moist)
2 c chicken broth (not bouillon)
8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
16 oz sour cream
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 clove minced garlic
12 oz jar medium salsa (or to your taste)
29 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
warm cooking oil
corn tortillas

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Poach chicken lightly in broth - do NOT boil. (Use broth for another recipe.) Bone, skin, and shred meat. Mix with cheese and sour cream, and set aside.
  • 2. Heat 2 T olive oil in a large skillet. Stir-fry onion, garlic and oregano, just until onion is translucent. Do not brown. Add salsa, tomato sauce and salt, and simmer until thickened.
  • 3. Spread 1/4 c. of salsa mix on the bottom of 9 x 13'' pan, Dip tortillas in separate warm oil, one by one, to soften. Dip a tortilla in salsa mix, lay on a board, and top with 1/4 c. of chicken mix across the middle. Roll it up,and lay it seam-side down in the prepared pan. Repeat until chicken is gone. Cover all with the rest of the salsa mix.
  • 4. Bake 20 minutes. Serve with cooked or Spanish rice, and refried beans on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the enchiladas will taste. This means using fresh vegetables, quality cheese, and flavorful meat.
  • Don't overcook the meat: Overcooked meat is tough and chewy. Cook the meat until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Monterey Jack, cheddar, and mozzarella are all popular choices for enchiladas. You can also use a blend of cheeses to create a unique flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is what brings the enchiladas together. Make sure to use a flavorful sauce that you enjoy.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are golden brown: This will help to create a crispy crust on the enchiladas and will also help to melt the cheese.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings: Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and guacamole are all popular choices.
  • Make enchiladas ahead of time: Enchiladas can be made ahead of time and then baked just before serving. This is a great option for busy weeknights.

Conclusion:

Enchiladas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy meal or for a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make delicious enchiladas at home. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give enchiladas a try!
